Mr. Heed never assumed that office, for,, as It turned out, the nppolntment was made to facilitate his return to the United States.

It can be truthfully said1 that drain nge Is the chief essential In putting earth roads into proper condition. An old Scotchman, an expert road builder, aptly said that the three requirements of good earth onds are drainage, more 'Jralnnge, nnd still more drainage. The roads must not only have good surface ilrulnage but must also have good tin Jer drainage. Surface drainage is se--ured by proper grading, adequate side ditches, and by keeping tho crown of Jio road properly driigged. Stretches of road that do not dry out quickly must be under-drained by tile. The drag must be used after each rain. If the best results nre to be se cured. Don't go on the road while too muddy, let It dry out slightly; It should to wet enough, however, so It will not Several of the Grain Belt States An nually Expend Over $3,000,000 In Constructing and Maintaining Roads, Bridges and Culverts. crumble, but smear. When properly used, the .drag brings a thin layer of earth toward the center of the rond which Is rolled und packed between the wet periods. If too much crown Is secured by dragging, the angle of the drag should be reversed. Getting the earth roads graded, ditches open, well drained, nnd prop erly crowned by dragging Is about oil that can be dor- until the people nre reiuly to surface the road with gravel, broken stone or some other surfacing material. GREAT 1920 ROAD PROGRAM Necessary for Many States to Post pone Expenditure of Federal Funds for Building. David F. Houston, secretary of agri culture. In his annual report, calls at tention to the fact that the 1910 pro gram for federal aid road building Is greater than any previous annual rond-bullditig nccoinpjlshnient In this country. It Is so great, In fact, that It undoubtedly will be necessnry for many of the states to postpone until 1920 the expenditure of the federal fundi, because of the necessity of de veloping experienced contracting nnd engineering organizations from tho stngnnnt conditions brought about by the war. Under the terms of tho fed eral aid rond act, tho apportionment to n state for any one fiscal year re mnlns available for expenditure until the close of the succeeding yenr. It Is estimated that funds nlreridy pro vided will bo sutllcient to finance next yenr n program more than four times grenter than any that hns ever been undertaken. GOOD MARKET IS REQUISITE Pr'rne Essential for Successful Diversi fied Farming Bad Roads Are Drawback. Fnrmers sooner or Inter learn the de sirability of diversified farming. Per hnps no cnuse limits farming of tills description so much ns bad roads, for the prime requisite for successful di versified farming Is n good market. This market may be either a nonrby town or a city, or a distant market which requires railroad transporta tion. ADVANTAGE TO AGRICULTURE Time Saved In Hauling Over Improved Roads Really Reduces Cost of Transportation. One of the great advantages of Im proved roads to agriculture Is the time saved In hauling, which In reality amounts to a reduction In transporta tion costs. BIGGER TAXES ON BAD ROADS Lost Time and Labor on Poor High ways Will More Than Build and Maintain Good Road. Some folks object to a good roads tax. The American farmer pays great er tuxes on had ronds than he does on the construction and maintenance of good ronds. Tho time and labor lost on bad roads will more than pay the tnx levy to build and support u gooiJ rond. LIFT OFF CORNS!
